THE DARLINGTON NEWS. Tm;i<SI)AV, may 6, 1880 1-.OCA.IL. ITElVlS- Don t fail to give Manne’s fresh, cool and sparkling lager beer a trial. Only five cents a glass. See advertisement. Jt'noiNo from the number of fine turnouts from the livery stable, Messrs. McCullough & Houston have some fine stock on hand. Maj. Charles is having put up a nice new fence in front of his residence. It will add much to the appearance of his already pretty place. The farmers of the county have been blessed with copious rains, thus being secure of a good oat crop, which, after ashort corn crop of last year, is much needed. According to notice the Treasurer’s office is now open for the May installment of taxes. Come in and pay while there is no crowd to contend with. Don’t wait 'till the last week. The Darlington Lioiit Dragoons mus tered over forty on last Saturday, all well mounted and with bright sabres. We com pliment them on their handsome appearance, and hope we will always see them looking as well. The Darlington Brass Band volunteered their Services last Srturday, to assisl in the monumental ceremonies. The drummer of the Band, Henry Brown, was with the 8th Regiment, in Virginia, and is one of the best drummers in the State. Our new council would do a good thing for the health of our town by deepening the ditch which runs from the corner of Mr. E. A. Law’s field to the Railroad. If this ditch was kept open we would have a dry street from that place to the depot. It has been suggested by a number of gentlemen that the Mineral Spring be thor oughly repaired and improved, and a meet ing of all persons favorably disposed towards tliis object is requested on Tuesday next at the Court House, at 4 o’clock p. m. An error appeared in our local column last week, which we correct. The commit tee appointed from Pomona Grange, P. of H., were for the reception and entertain ment of delegates from the State Grange, and not the State Agricultural and Mechan ical Society, which, meeting at the same time, we confused together. The following will be the schedule of the annual excursion of the Florence Library Association to Waccamaw Lake, to be given on the morning of the 25th inst: Leave Dar lington 6.30 a. m., Florence 6.15 a. m. Re turning leave the lake at 5 p. m. and ar rive at Florence at 7.30 p. m., and at Dar lington at 8 p. m. Fare for round trip from Darlington, $1.26. Death of Ben Watson.—Ben Watson, the colored barber of this town, died on Tuesday afternoon. His death was a great loss to the community, and affects, with sor row, both white and colored. He was re markable for his common sense and an un usually amiable and obliging disposition. Ben was one of nature’s gentlemen, and it was impossible to know him and not like him. We care not to dwell on the fact that, for years, he had been a consistent Demo crat— we do not wish to ma»* this tribute, which we know will have the cordial sympa thy of our entire community, by the intro duction of partisan feeling. Who has not recognized his genuine worth ? Darlington C. H. is not the same, having lost the kind ly face and warm heart of Ben Watson. A good man, beloved by ail, has gone across the dark river, and the colored people of Darlington county have lost one of the brightest and best of their race. A dele gation of ihe young white men of the town whom he had so long served as a barber and by whom he was held in the highest esteem, requested and obtained permission to act as pall bearers, and he was buried Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a large con course of his friends of both races. Peace to his ashes ! TIMMONSVILLE ITEMS. — We are pleased to note the return from Charleston of our chum and neighbor, Mr. Kuker, whither he had gone to attend the Deitshogmandbugndschafl, that is what he called it, but if you can pronounce it now let me hear of it, for the drum of my ear has been very much inflamed since he told me about it. If any of your neighbors are troubled with neuralgia in the face, just get them to try and pronounce the above, and a cure is certain. — It has been regretted by many of our citizens, as well as country friends and visitors, that the unveiling of the monument should have taken place on Saturday. A great many were prevented from attending who otherwise would cheerfully have been there. We know you had a crowd for the occasion, and the exertions of the ladies de served it, still more would have been on hand, and it would have gratified none more than jour humble servant, DOTS FROM EARLY’S X ROADS. — There was a cutting affray near this place a few days ago between two colored men, Jeff Lunnon and Horace Washington. Jealousy was the cause. — We had very heavy rains and high wirds last Friday night ; a building on Mrs, Atkinson's plantation, occupied by Mr. Windham, was unroofed, large trees were blown down and doors and windows sent flying through the air. No person was in jured. — There are whispers of ahuge pic-nic to come off shortly at Early’s Cross Roads. A very grave committee of young men ha Ye the matter under jonsideration. Your Re porter will listen and inform you by card when it will take place — Monumental Day had quite an effect on our law abiding citizens, several passed here in & very dila] Mated condition, whether from the effects of Gen. Conner's speech or the heat of the day we can’t say. One man, after divers attempts, succeeded in getting into Mr Early’s store and asked the clerk tor . 1" 1 t (.i l". spool of ball thread, to sc .v up uis buggy shaft 1880. 1880. sntiisra- g-ooidsi AT EARLY’S, COR.
